Vent

By: Gabriela Yareliz

Warning: What follows is a complete ventilation of feeling (really, more specifically, frustration)…

So, the creepy guy at the library who always looks around at people, more specifically Felicia and I, like he wants to abduct us, GO AWAY. No one likes the way you cough all over the keyboard and look around like you want to do something criminal. I was nice and gave you the benefit of the doubt for a while, but by the time you showed up next to me in a different library, I knew something was wrong. I have come to the conclusion that you are indeed creepy, and this is not an assumption. I am a journalist, and I work based on facts. Stop sitting next to us, and go see a doctor (this cough is a genuine concern)!

Have you ever sat through a class with a person chewing gum like a cow into your ear the entire time? This is also the class where your poor, overworked, exploited TA is sick as a dog because of the previously mentioned reasons and the fact that he doesn’t sleep probably thinking about how he will pay his next set of groceries. Get well soon, beloved TA. We all love your class. Sleep, and forget about administration and fee hikes. Sympathetically, your class.

Or how about a mediocre professor who sits there with a notepad and stares at the class, and if you have no new update on your reporting (which is often times not your fault because you rely on people you can’t control to get back to you) he will just scold you and say, “See you next time,” (this is followed by a eerie wink). He also gives you no advice, and watches you slave over a piece, and when you edit what he wants you to change, he gives you a grade that matches his teaching style. This is also the professor who doesn’t mention a book the whole semester and then wants to give a final exam on it. He is HILARIOUS. Only 3 kids do something in this class (ME INCLUDED).

THIS- is not my idea of quality education.

One last thing, since when do people talk about the meaning of life in the bathroom? Lately I have heard about boyfriends, life, and how to take naps. People… really… the bathroom?

I am over this. I had to express my disgust with the world today. And I promise I am smiling while I am writing this.

Got to love college life, and the sunshine which makes me smile.

Henry Ward Beecher: Troubles are often the tools by which God fashions us for better things.

Let us hope so, (non-creepy wink), let’s hope so…
